FOLDING REAR SEATInterior trunk access
The trunk can be accessed from the driver
side and passenger side of the rear seat for
loading and unloading, as shown.
1. Move the front passenger seat to themost forward position. 2. Open the access cover on the rear par-
cel shelf.
3. Insert a key or another suitable tool (such as a pen or a screw driver) into the
slot, then slide the recessed lever in the
direction of the arrow
O1.
4. Fold down the passenger's side seat- back
O2.
NOTE:
To access the trunk in case of a dead
battery, use a key or another suitable
tool (such as a pen or screw driver), to
slide recessed lever in the direction of
the arrow.
WARNING
• Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat when it
is in the fold-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-
ous injury or death in an accident or
sudden stop.

•Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shif ting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
• When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
• Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them
from playing and becoming locked in
the trunk where they could be seri-
ously injured. Keep the car locked,
with the rear seatback and trunk lid
securely latched when not in use, and
prevent children's access to car keys. To fold down either side of the rear seat,
open the trunk and pull on the knob on that
side
OA.
